UHK Krems became the second team after Hard to reach the semi-finals of the Austrian Handball League (HLA) on Wednesday evening. 

After winning the first game of the "best of three" series 30:21, Krems defeated Bregenz Handball 31:27 (26:26, 13:13) on the road in overtime. The game between Fivers Margareten and BT Füchse has not yet been decided. The Styrians tied the series at 1:1 with a 35:31 (19:14) win in Vienna.

There was also great jubilation at Westwien. After winning the championship title and leaving the top flight for financial reasons last year, the Viennese team secured immediate promotion with a 31:20 win over Handball Tirol in the HLA Challenge on Wednesday.
